Don't Underrate A Good Night's Sleep

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

So often in our diet and exercise advice world we think THAT along with physical check ups we are good to go as far as taking care of ourselves. But what about SLEEP?

Don't Underrate A Good Night's Sleep.

Find out what is a solid amount for you to be refreshed and try best as you can to head off to slumber land about the same time each night. Unplug all your Internet toys and television at least a half hour prior to bed to get your brain out of that HIGH LEVEL THINKING MODE. Don't drink excessive liquids an hour before bed either. Good night time exercise and / or a warm shower or bath helps with making you nod off fast too. If a third of our life is asleep to recharge those batteries, make sure you are recharging them well with the right temperature room, plenty of darkness and quiet, and a regular time to hit the hay. You'll be glad for the sleep when you are back at it in the morning.

I should send this to my sister. She still seems to think she can function properly on 3-4 hours of sleep. Maybe when we were teenagers but not anymore. I need my 7-8 hours each night or I'm pretty useless the next day. (Love the video, by the way.)

When it's time to go to bed . . . . it's time to go to bed.

Good luck and success.

For me 4 solid hours of good sleep is better than 7 hours of being awake every couple of hours.

Gary, My sleep is important to me and I can sure tell when I am missing a few hours. I just am not as productive.

Dear Gary -

Well, now I guess I won't stay up all night! DARN!!! Had a lot to do and haven't finished! Must admit, I like that turn off the internet 30 minutes early and then your brain can settle down part. I should do that for sure.

This comment puts me just over 350,000 points - you are one of the folks who always encouraged me along the way! I specifically saved your blog for the "roll-over" comment. Thanks for all your encouragement.

Have a happy day -
Lynn

As I watch this at 4 a.m. without sleeping. Over a month later, this video still makes me smile.
